Liverpool have reportedly ruled out any plans to sack manager Arne Slot despite the club’s alarming slump in form and their shock Carabao Cup elimination at Anfield.
The Reds suffered a humiliating 3-0 defeat to Crystal Palace on Wednesday night, marking their sixth loss in seven matches across all competitions. Slot’s side has also endured four straight defeats in the Premier League, leaving them seventh in the table and seven points adrift of leaders Arsenal.
The Dutchman, who guided Liverpool to the Premier League title in his debut season, made ten changes to the squad that fell to Brentford last weekend, but the move backfired as his reshuffled side failed to deliver. The result intensified pressure from fans and pundits questioning his tactical approach and team selections.
However, according to BBC Sport, Liverpool’s hierarchy remains firmly behind Slot, dismissing any talk of dismissal as premature. The report quotes a source as saying there is “not a chance” the club will assess his future at this point, adding that the 47-year-old still has “plenty of credit in the bank.”
Slot’s achievements last season, which included securing Liverpool’s first league title since 2020, have earned him significant goodwill within the club. Senior figures at Anfield reportedly believe the current slump is a temporary setback rather than a sign of deeper issues.
The Reds’ next fixtures will be crucial in restoring momentum, with Slot expected to recall several first-team regulars as he looks to steady the ship. Despite the poor results, the manager’s focus remains on getting Liverpool back into the Premier League title race.
While the pressure is mounting from the terraces, Liverpool’s leadership appears determined to show faith in their coach, believing consistency and stability will yield results — not panic decisions.
